He's only 23. Who knows, two years from now he could be absolutely tearing it up somewhere.

Perhaps I misread but there’s nothing that says he disagrees with what the manager thinks is best to do. The manager wasn’t picking him for a game so expected him to mimic a teams style in a practice session, the disagreement is whether or not he pressed enough in that session which they couldn’t agree on even watching a video back.

Can’t say (unless you see the video) who was right, but if you watch a video and disagree still then it’s unlikely you’ll back down. Especially with the point being Sancho thought other people were worse in training and didn’t face the same treatment.

The real failing is on United all round, can’t see any individual part that shouldn’t have done better.

Now they’re stuck with a player who the manager won’t play until he gets an apology that isn’t coming, on wages he’s never justified even without the bonuses and they’re unlikely to get rid without paying something themselves. Though judging by how they tried to handle the Greenwood incident, there’s no expectation for them handling issues with competency.

I wonder if he hit that point that so many young men hit where they go from being able to eat whatever they want, drink, barely sleep, and still run around with endless energy to suddenly feeling tired and putting on the weight. Happened to most of us in our 20s where all of a sudden our physical fitness depends on our lifestyle choices.

Bang on. He's a disciplinarian and while he's strict with his standards if you show contrition and work hard, he's happy to bring you back.

You cited Maguire, AWB and McTominay - All seem to be playing better now under Ten Hag after time out as other players were performing better. I'll also toss in when he did the same thing with Garnacho (criticised him as not training to the required standard which is why he was dropped) and Rashford (dropped him to the bench for a game last season for oversleeping and arriving late at a team meeting, Rashford accepted it and when the Boss sent him on he tore the game up).

You've also got what happened with Ronaldo, he gave him every opportunity and it got tossed in his face, so they cut him loose. Arguably one of the top 2-3 players on the planet for the last 15 years, and the boss told him to not let the door hit him in the arse on his way out. It's back to the days of "noone is bigger than the club" and Sancho right now is suffering the consequences of his own actions.

Hell, if he was like Eden Hazard where he trained like shit but was golden during matches, he'd probably get away with it. But he doesn't.

W liverpool fan take

McTominay is generally good player, but is often misused, and can't find a place in team playing tenhagball. But I've never seen him bitch about not being picked. He's always keeping his head down and do what he's paid for. Sancho is behaving like a diva, but you can't be a diva when you don't even play in starting 11. You are rotation player, accept it or begone.

Even Mctominay somehow seems to be getting played

United were struggling to score and McTominay is a goal machine for the national team. Right now for United his positives outweigh his negatives.

Shocked former captain and 85 mil centerback can have 3 decent games in a row.

Of course we call him amazing, he is Spider-Wan.

Agree with what you say for the most part but it's not "somehow" for McTominay - the guy does have good physical attributes and is a fighter who works hard, and honestly I'll take that every day of the week over lazy world-class haircut merchants who inject more shit into their arse than Kanye's ex-wife

Mctominay would suit Spurs/Liverpool in their 433

Unfortunately I can't imagine the price coming down enough for him to come back to BVB. Only way I could see it is if its a loan because ManU think maybe he can catch fire there again so they can sell him to somebody else.

You've gotten downvoted but i see your point. However ETH was also the one who gave him a 3 month off for his mental and physical health. I think he fells let down after all he did for Sancho

Antony has performed better than Sancho. Antony lacks end product but so has Sancho who has done a worse job at scoring and creating than Antony. And Antony at least works hard off the ball and presses diligently unlike Sancho who doesn't even put in the bare minimum work rate.

Garnacho plays much better off the left than off the right so he's in direct competition with Rashford rather than Antony. Also Garnacho still performs much better as an impact sub and doesn't have the same impact on games when starting.

Bruh they play on different wings

It's not so much that he's the teacher's pet as it is that he's the best of a bad bunch for that position.

Sancho offers nothing on the pitch for United. Can't score, can't assist, can't dribble, can't pass under pressure, can't cross, can't get in behind, can't track back, can't keep the team shape, can't pull defenders out of position, can't press, can't win the ball back. Antony, at least, does some of those things all of the time, even though his end-product has been beyond laughable for a player with his massive price tag.

Garanacho will probably take Antony's spot if he keeps going at his current trajectory, but he's still very raw and doesn't appear quite ready to be a starter week in and week out. His good games are remarkable, but his bad games are extremely bad. Once he raises his floor, he will start.
